0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

MATERI’ACT is a sustainability-focused subsidiary of FORVIA, specializing in developing innovative materials that reduce CO₂ emissions and replace virgin plastics in automotive applications. The website presents a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging WordPress CMS with advanced SEO and privacy tools such as Yoast SEO and Matomo Analytics. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive information about the company's mission, challenges, and solutions in the sustainable materials sector. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS registrant data is a concern but likely due to privacy protection or recent domain registration. Overall, the site reflects a credible and professional business entity with a clear focus on environmental innovation.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

MATERI’ACT operates in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, targeting automotive OEMs and sustainability partners. Its business model centers on developing recycled and biomass-based compounds to reduce environmental impact. The company benefits from its affiliation with FORVIA, enhancing market credibility. The website indicates active content updates, partnerships, and funding news, signaling growth and innovation. The multilingual presence (French and Chinese versions) suggests international ambitions. However, lack of explicit contact details and corporate registration info on the site limits transparency. The company appears positioned as an important player in sustainable automotive materials with potential for expansion.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo). Cookie consent is implemented via tarteaucitron.js with mandatory and optional categories, indicating GDPR compliance. However, some standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected, which could be enhanced. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit security policy or incident response information, which could improve trust and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish clear terms of service and security policy pages to enhance transparency and compliance.
  3. Add explicit company contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to support incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern front-end technologies including CSS variables, ES6 JavaScript, and responsive design. It uses Yoast SEO for metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Matomo Analytics is used for privacy-conscious user tracking. Cookie consent is managed by tarteaucitron.js, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site loads efficiently with optimized images and video backgrounds.

Overall, the technical implementation is modern, performant, and well-optimized for SEO and privacy.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
